Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®) has been active in North Central Florida since the 1950s. This chapter was officially chartered in 1964. Since then there have been many dedicated staff and volunteers eagerly serving the Lord for the sake of the children.
In 1999, God called Steve and Maxine Carlson to become the area directors for CEF here in North Central Florida and they have continued to serve in this capacity since January 2000. God has used them to share the love of Jesus Christ with a great number of children in multiple venues. Furthermore, God has used them to train others that have a heart to do the same thing.
In 2001, God swung the doors open even wider. The Supreme Court decided in Good News Club v. Milford Central School that schools could not discriminate against speech based on the viewpoint it expresses. Today the majority of Good News Clubs take place after school in area elementary schools.

We rely on our volunteers and other supporters to expand the reach and touch of this children's ministry. We are so proud of our volunteers. Some have grown up through the ministry, while others only wished they had. In fact, several of our team members will tell you that they would have loved to have participated in a Bible Club, such as a Good News Club® or a 5-Day Club® or at Camp Good News® when they were growing up.
Teaching children about Jesus will always be the primary focus of this ministry. However, not all our team members are Bible teachers. Music is an important part of each of our outreach ministries. Children want to be listened to so team members with patient ears play an important role. Each club needs individuals that are not afraid to have fun with the children. Last, but not least, each club needs individuals behind the scenes taking attendance, handling the correspondence, and of course praying for everyone and everything involved.
Make a Difference
As a nonprofit, children's ministry, we are so grateful for people that recognize the importance of reaching children with the gospel of Jesus Christ and that are willing to invest some of their resources to pursue eternal dividends.
